Wallpaper projects in Kenmore
Kenmore sits at the north end of Lake Washington. Many projects here are room updates: a bedroom, a home office or a living room feature wall in a house that has been lived in for years.
Kenmore homes and what they need
Common home types: 1960s–80s family homes, lake-view houses near the north end of Lake Washington, townhomes and apartments downtown.
The existing finish decides the preparation. Glossy paint needs a primer for the paste to grip, textured walls may need a skim coat, and older wallpaper usually needs to come off. A close photo of the wall surface tells us a lot before the visit.

Wallpaper Installation in Kenmore: Feature Walls and Room Updates
Many Kenmore projects are updates to homes that have been lived in for years: a new feature wall in the living room, a refreshed bedroom, a home office or a nursery. In these rooms the existing finish matters most, because it decides how much preparation is needed before the new paper goes up.
What we review before quoting a Kenmore project
For Kenmore feature walls and room updates, we check:
- The existing finish. Flat or glossy paint, texture, old wallpaper or paneling each need different preparation.
- Wall dimensions. Width and height of each wall, plus windows, doors and outlets that interrupt it.
- Wall damage. Nail holes, cracks, water stains and torn drywall paper are repaired before primer.
- The selected wallpaper. Thin papers show more of the wall underneath; heavier papers hide light texture. See skim coating before wallpaper.
Reading the existing finish from photos
A close-up photo of the wall in daylight, with light coming from the side, shows texture, old seams and patched areas clearly. A photo of an outlet with the cover removed can show whether there are layers of paper under the paint. These photos help us estimate preparation before the visit.
Glossy paint needs a primer for the paste to grip. Heavy orange-peel or knockdown texture may need a skim coat. Old paper — especially paper that has been painted over — usually needs to come off; our guide on removing painted-over wallpaper explains why.
Kenmore homes near the lake
Homes near the north end of Lake Washington and in neighborhoods like Inglewood and Uplake Terrace range from mid-century houses to newer construction. Older homes are more likely to have original finishes and old paper; newer ones usually have painted drywall with light texture.
Feature walls are the most common request: one wall behind a bed or sofa, papered in a bold pattern or mural. Our guide on choosing an accent wall helps decide which wall to paper.

What affects the cost of wallpaper installation in Kenmore
Every estimate is based on the actual walls and material, so there is no single price per roll or per room. These are the factors that change the scope of a Kenmore project the most:
- Wall area and height. More strips take more time, and walls over about 10 feet need planks or scaffolding.
- Preparation. Removal of old paper, repairs, skim coating and primer are separate steps that can take as long as the installation itself.
- Material. Grasscloth, heavy vinyl, unpasted traditional papers and murals take more care to handle than standard nonwoven papers.
- Pattern and layout. Large repeats, drop matches and rooms with many windows, doors and corners take more cutting and planning.
- Access and timing. Furniture, fixtures, building rules and fixed deadlines affect how the work is scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
Can wallpaper go over glossy paint?
Glossy paint needs to be cleaned and primed with a wallcovering primer so the paste bonds properly.
How do I know if my walls are too textured?
Shine a flashlight across the wall at a low angle. If you see a clear bumpy pattern, a skim coat may be needed for thin papers and murals.
Which wall is best for a feature wall?
Usually the wall you see first when entering the room, or the wall behind the bed or sofa.
Can you wallpaper over painted walls?
Usually yes, after cleaning, repairing and priming. Glossy or damaged paint and heavy texture may need extra preparation, which we explain in the estimate.
How much does wallpaper installation cost in Kenmore?
It depends on the wall condition, the wallpaper type, the pattern repeat and how complex the room is. Send photos, measurements and your wallpaper details so the estimate reflects your actual walls. Call or text (206) 380-4118.

Yes. We remove existing wallpaper and assess the surface underneath. The preparation needed depends on the wallpaper, adhesive and wall condition.
